Democrats are fantastic at making promises to voters that the the lives of Americans will be so much better if they just elect Democrats. But what happens is the policies end up making things worse. Democrats give great speeches, but when it comes to enacting policies they end up making busloads of mistakes.
This is the opportunity for Rebublicans. They need to realize they don't have half the charisma or promise making ability of the Democrats. I don't see anyone on the horizon who can compete with Obama's charisma, likeability and charm. So, acknowledge it and work around it. Don't give up. Focus on the philosophies and try to connect with voters.
We cannot afford to fall back to a party that is made up of arrogant country club republicans who are looking out for themselves. We have to preach and evangelize the benefits of limited government and more freedom.
We have to point out the truth about Democrats again and again until it breaks through the media wall of bias and gets out to the people.
"Democrats promise to make things better, but their policies make things worse."
There it is GOP, that's your slogan for 2010. It is simple, easy to understand and most importantly True.
When are we going to get voters to focus on the results not the promises? That is when the GOP will return to majorities. Obama will be tough to beat but we can re-take the House and Senate as long as we educate the American people on the truth.
Being a Republican means being a realist which precludes our candidates from running on false promises based upon hope and vague philosophies. But Republican policies make the lives of Americans better.
This is what I want our GOP Leaders to focus on: Democrats do a great job of making promises that they will make things better, but their policies make things worse.
I am going to back up this statement by doing future posts on healthcare, energy, foreign policy, education, social spending, the stimulus and other topics. It is time for the Republicans to get off the mat and start winning elections again.
so NICE TO HAVE YOU BACK - you are brilliant and a voice that needs to be heard
